He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 81 Four Echelons
"call out!"

"start!"

After the referee shouted "start", Lu Qinglong, who was standing at the front and back, rushed out first.

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao only felt that when Lu Qinglong started moving, he brought out a gust of wind, causing their speed to slow down.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly, adjusted themselves quickly, and chased after the figure of Lu Qinglong who was rushing out in the front.

But this does not mean that other recruits can react in time. While they were distracted, the recruits next to Lu Qinglong were basically pushed forward by the recruits behind them, losing several seconds of reaction time.

"Adjust your breathing and don't fall behind."

Lu Qinglong, who was running in the front, turned around and shouted to the two people behind him.

"Whoo~"

Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao both adopted the inhale-exhale-exhale breathing method.

This method was also taught to them by Chen Ting. It can greatly improve their breathing and significantly improve their performance.

That is indeed true.

After a month of intensive training, both of them have made great progress.

Until recently, I felt that I had reached the bottleneck of the three-kilometer speed and there was no way to improve it any further.

Or if you want to improve, you need to practice harder for a longer period of time.

As for Lu Qinglong, he just used a simple breathing method and breathed normally.

I don’t know if it’s because his nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs are much stronger than others.

So with every breath we take, we get much more oxygen from the air than others.

Running is not difficult at all for him, and the current three-kilometer test is even more so.

"Come on, I'll be in front to help you two break the wind."

Lu Qinglong took the initiative to slow down his speed and stopped two meters in front of Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang.

His broad body now became a natural wind breaker. The two people behind him immediately felt much better, and even their steps became more comfortable.

This situation continued until a distance of one kilometer, and now the 150 participating players have been completely divided into four large echelons.

The fourth echelon was made up of new recruits. Most of them were pulled in to make up the numbers. They could barely pass the three-kilometer race, with a pace of about four and a half minutes.

The number of people is not bad, about thirty or so.

The third echelon, which is the largest echelon, is a bit of a mixed bag.

Most of them are new recruits, and a small number of veterans, and their pace is a little over four minutes.

It can be seen that there is a gap of almost one hundred meters between their third and fourth echelons.

The second echelon, except for a few scattered new recruits, the rest are all veterans.

Most of the new recruits in this echelon are students with special sports skills or graduates from martial arts schools.

They have many advantages over ordinary people in the military. Just in terms of physical fitness level, they have already been trained to a high level when they are in the local area. They don't need to train much when they come to the army. They have already reached a good or even excellent level.

Generally, veterans in the army like these sports students and students from martial arts schools.

The veterans in this echelon are basically from normal units, and their average pace is between three and a half and four minutes.

It's a normal veteran level.

As for the first echelon, there is an explanation for that.

There are five people in the first echelon.

Three of them were new recruits.

These three people are Lv Qinglong, Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang. The three of them really made the other recruits watching the game proud:

"Come on! Big brother who can feed three people in one meal!"

"Come on, come on! We are all new recruits! Give those veterans some physical shock from us post-00s!"

"Yes! You three must win! Defeat these veterans on our behalf!"

The recruits who were watching the battle around shouted at the three men.

Also in the first echelon are two veterans.

Among these two veterans, one is Wang Yuan, the squad leader of the second squad next to Lu Qinglong, and the other one is unknown, seemingly a veteran from another company.

Among them, Wang Yuan’s speed can be described as very fast.

It was even faster than Lu Qinglong and the other two.

You have to know that the current pace of the three of them is about three minutes and twenty seconds.

If you maintain this speed and run the entire three kilometers, the final time will be exactly ten minutes.

Lu Qinglong was leading Xue Daochao in running. If he just ignored them and ran, he would be considered a separate echelon.

"Come on, both of you, give it some strength!"

Lu Qinglong turned around and spoke to the two of them while running.

Now they have maintained this speed for two kilometers, and there is only one kilometer left.

The veteran from the other company had been left behind by them, but Wang Yuan was always more than ten meters ahead of them.

It can be seen how strong his physical fitness is as a veteran who also came from the special operations brigade.

Moreover, he was a first-term non-commissioned officer and was at the peak of his physical fitness.

Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang were unwilling to give up and followed Lu Qinglong with all their might.

Running with others is always much less tiring than running by yourself. Xue Daochao knows this very well. He is constantly adjusting his breathing frequency and secretly storing up his strength.

"Come on, Brother Long! Come on, Bai Chang and Lao Xue! The last 500 meters! It's time to sprint!"

From both sides of the road, shouts of encouragement from a group of new recruits could be heard.

Their class was only 500 meters away from the finish line, and there were new recruits from the next class, Class 2, standing next to them.

The new recruits in their second class were also cheering:
"Come on, squad leader! Crush them! Squad leader, you can do it!"

The two sides shouted at each other and engaged in a fierce confrontation, and the scene was very lively for a while.

"I can't do it anymore. Old Xue Qinglong, you guys go ahead and sprint."

Ji Baichang who was in the team couldn't hold on any longer. He breathed heavily, and his originally even breathing became disordered.

His face was extremely red, and he looked a bit like a fish that was about to drown on the shore. It took a lot of effort for him to just breathe.

And his speed also slowed down, dragging him away from the team of three.

Without Lu Qinglong breaking the wind in front of him, Ji Baichang suddenly felt the pressure rising. Every time he took a step, he felt as if his thighs were pierced by countless steel needles.

“I’ve already surpassed my best result!”

His mind was empty and he was moving his legs subconsciously.

On the other side, Lu Qinglong turned his head and said to Xue Daochao as if nothing had happened:
"Daochao, go ahead and sprint. You should have a lot of energy left, right?"

"I've been breaking the wind for so long, you should take first place."
